Our Reconciliation Education Grants Program aims to enable education settings across South Australia to implement deliverables from the Narragunnawali Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) with a focus on connecting with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, and creating long term sustainable and transformative change. 

The Reconciliation Education Grants program aims to engage education settings from the early years to secondary schools in meaningful and sustainable reconciliation activities.

Grants of $2000 are available per application and are open until 15th August 2025
